Funny guys Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer have been passengers on Emmy Award-winning shows like Transparent and 30 Rock. With their Comedy Central special Crash Test, the two cut-ups are front and center, leading the way toward what could be Emmy gold for Outstanding Variety Special.
Premiering on January 22, 2016, Crash Test, directed by Lance Bangs, is a comedy special unlike anything you’ve ever seen, taking place on a bus (that’s right—just don’t make any Speed jokes). Huebel and Scheer act as hosts with all of Los Angeles as their stage as they pull up on the street to comedians like Rob Corddry, Aziz Ansari, and Natasha Leggero.
ADTV’s Megan McLachlan talked with Huebel and Scheer about this grand production (but not before they argued over which one of them she liked better based on their appearances in Norbit versus School for Scoundrels) and learned about this incredible comedy experience and why they aren’t afraid of throwing down against past Outstanding Variety Special winners like The Kennedy Center Honors.
